Changes..

Change...

Blah. Sometimes I dont like it one bit, ya know? Things seem to be shifting in my life a bit.

-My youth minister is leaving...good and bad change.

-My friends arent getting along...from what I see now- bad change.

-Im about to have a job...I hope good change.

-Im about to be 16....stinkin great change! haha

-Im having to try to step up and be a leader in my youth group...good change I hope.

Things in my life seem crazy. I often wonder, "Why does everything have to change?" So I thought about it today. Ive come to the conclusion that if there wasnt any change, life would be so boring, wouldnt it? Change can be good because sometimes it's for God to make even better things come along in your life. It gives Him His chance to work in our lives. Even though I have a couple of bad things going on I know that God has it in His hands.

My youth minister is following God's plan for his life and Im so incredibly happy for him. Im going to miss him and it's certainly going to be a change, but this is what God wants. My church and Mickey will reap the rewards after it's all said and done because this is in God's will.

Im so excited to see what God does in my life in the next few months. (last night I even jumped up and down) I feel like something huge is going to take place....something way beyond anything I could ever do.

I think change in my life right now is mostly for the better. My Lord and Savior has it in His hands and Im willing to just sit back and let Him handle it. Im ready to help Pave the Way.

Just wanted to share some thoughts...

In Him,

To My Class of '08!

Oh high school is going by so quickly..

you make friends...

you go through boys

and you get in sticky situations...

but your best friends help you through.

you learn to take pride in who you are...

&& you learn to experience things. even if its not what you wanted...

seasons change...

&& so do people.

you learn that friendship matters the most...

and without friends... you'd probly be normal.

you grow with a group of people...

and sometimes you get very close

but in the end its all worth it.

as we move on to our junior year...

we remember our Sophomore and freshman years with pride...

and know that even though we may drift from each other...

those memories are what matter most.

I love all of my friends at school oh so much. Sorry if I left you out...you are much loved! I cant wait till our Junior year!! We are gunna rock the school '08!! Woot woot!

In His name

I found this from a while ago:

"Mary Lauren has the happiness of Reese Witherspoon on Legally Blonde.
Andrea has the love of Mother Theresa
and Lisa has the wisdom of Oprah ( yes we like Oprah, and she has the same belt as she does!)

We make a pretty great person, huh?"

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

IM BACK!!!

So these past 40 days have been great for me. God has opened my eyes to so many things about myself, my relationships with other people, my relationship with Him, and things about the person Im wanting to be. I may not have always been obedient and filled my time that I wouldve gotten on the internet with prayer or reading His word, but whenever I did it was always wonderful. The things He's opened my eyes to have been amazing...it's just going to take a lot to become the person im wanting to be.

This was one of the devotionals from the 40 days that made me sit in awe...

"Then Simon Peter....went to the tomb, and he saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself."- John 20:6-7

"During Jesus' time there was one way a carpenter let the contractor know a job was finished. A signature, so to speak.

Imagine a hot afternoon in Galilee, Jesus has completed the final pieces of a job he has worked on for several days. The hair of his strong forearms is matted with sawdust and sweat. His face shiny with heat. He takes a final-and welcome- drink of cool water from a leather bag.

He pours water over his face and chest to clean himself before his journey home. With a nearby towel, he pats his face and arms dry.

Finally, Jesus folds the towel neatly. He set it on the finished work and walks away. Later, whoever arrives to inspect the work will see the towel and understand its simple message. The work is finished.

On a Sunday of sorrow, Peter will crouch to look into an empty tomb and see only linens that the risen Lord has left behind.

A smile will cross Peter's face as his sorrow is relaced by hope, for he will see the wrap that had covered Jesus' face. Peter understands. The carpenter has left behind a simple message. It is finished."

-Sugmund Brouwer

It is finished...with Easter quickly approaching, I have taken so much time to think upon our Savior's death. But more importantly, His ressurection. I dont think the real meaning of Easter has ever been as real to me as it is this year...I mean wow...I cant even believe Jesus died for my sins when I dont deserve it the least bit....how great and awesome is His love.

After all that pain he still said, "I will forgive them their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."- Jeremiah 31:34

Man am I in love with my Lord

Have a wonderful Easter you guys! He has risen!

Andrea
